Essentials

Essentials

Recently a friend e-mailed me a list of wardrobe essentials, a practical recommendation of apparel and accessories designed to ensure I am well-dressed at every occasion.  As I am somewhat challenged by fashion, I was delighted to receive the list. While I have not yet stocked my closet for success, I have given much thought to the idea of getting back to basics.  More specifically, I have assembled a cache of personal qualities for the opportunities life presents.  My list, like my life, is a glorious work in progress.   Each day it grows by one or two items.  My most up to date life essentials list includes: love, kindness, connection, laughter, courage, compassion, wonder, excitement, authenticity,  determination, presence, enthusiasm, forgiveness, gratitude, integrity, wisdom, power, radiance, honesty, tenderness, joy, simplicity, friendship and stillness. I declare my powerful intention to stock my closet with apparel and accessories that prepare me for anything.  I declare my powerful intention to stock my heart with the essentials of life. What life basics are essential to you?What powerful intentions are you willing to declare?
